American Bitcoin Corp, backed by the Trump family, has officially announced that it has surpassed 6,000 Bitcoin (BTC) in its reserves. This significant achievement positions the firm among the largest corporate holders of Bitcoin globally, all within just six months of its public trading debut on Nasdaq.
Eric Trump, the co-founder and chief strategy officer of American Bitcoin, made the announcement via his X account on February 17, 2026. He highlighted the firm”s accomplishment of holding 6,072 BTC, a testament to its rapid growth strategy since entering the public market.
American Bitcoin”s strategy combines mining operations with direct market purchases, a model referred to as the “mining to treasury” pipeline. This approach aims to accumulate Bitcoin at a pace that outstrips traditional mining operations, which typically sell their production to fund expenses. The company reported a remarkable increase of approximately 217 BTC in January alone.
In partnership with Hut 8 Corp, which holds an 80% stake in the venture, American Bitcoin”s mining facility—spanning the size of five football fields—delivers between 8 and 10 BTC daily. Eric Trump recently visited the site, reinforcing the firm”s objective of building a strategic Bitcoin reserve by retaining mined Bitcoin rather than liquidating it for operational costs.
American Bitcoin has also reported an impressive Bitcoin yield of approximately 116% since its Nasdaq debut in September 2025. This yield reflects the growth of its holdings from mined and purchased coins, and it is calculated separately from any capital raising activities, indicating a true accumulation of Bitcoin assets.
In a broader context, the surge in corporate Bitcoin treasury accumulation is becoming more pronounced. Hyperscale Data, based in Las Vegas, recently declared that its Bitcoin treasury had reached 600.5299 BTC, valued at around $41.3 million. Executive Chairman Milton “Todd” Ault III emphasized the significance of this milestone in showcasing the company”s commitment to its Bitcoin treasury strategy.
Interestingly, Hyperscale Data”s total assets, which include cash and Bitcoin holdings, amount to about $87.6 million—surpassing the company”s market capitalization. This discrepancy suggests that the market has not fully recognized the strength of its balance sheet.
The firm plans to invest at least 5% of its allocated cash into Bitcoin purchases weekly through a dollar-cost-averaging strategy, with an ambitious goal of reaching $100 million in Bitcoin reserves.
Additionally, DDC Enterprise, a global food platform, announced it had acquired 80 BTC, increasing its corporate treasury to 2,068 BTC. This acquisition marks the company”s sixth consecutive week of Bitcoin accumulation, reflecting a 74.8% growth since the beginning of the year. CEO Norma Chu noted that the disciplined execution of their long-term treasury strategy is pivotal to their approach.
As more corporations ramp up their Bitcoin treasury activities in early 2026, this trend highlights a shift in how public companies are viewing Bitcoin—as a strategic reserve asset rather than merely a speculative investment. American Bitcoin”s recent milestone, along with those of Hyperscale Data and DDC Enterprise, illustrates this evolving landscape as Bitcoin seeks stability above $70,000.
